Overview

:startdoc::task submits a captured http request

Performs a series of HTTP requests and returns the content of the final page. Requests must be hashes that at least specify the uri of the next request, but more typically also specify the request method, parameters, and even headers.

All requests are peformed in the same session, so logins and subsequent actions are allowed. The easiest way to capture HTTP requests is to use the capture server distributed with tap-mechanize. Simply start a tap server and work through the tutorial (localhost:8080/capture/tutorial).

% tap server

Once you have a request file:

% tap run -- load/yaml --:s submit --: dump < request.yml

Remember, only the results of the final page are returned!
